Dublin's best burger joint with multiple locations serving simple menu of perfect burgers made from Irish beef. No-nonsense approach with quality ingredients creates consistently excellent results.
Bunsen keeps its menu deliberately small across its several Dublin locations, focusing entirely on burgers made from Irish beef alongside skinny fries and little else. The no-nonsense approach, limited toppings, quality ingredients, and a fast, efficient kitchen, has built a loyal following among Dubliners looking for a straightforward, consistently good burger rather than an elaborate menu. The space is minimal and functional, with simple seating and quick table turnover, making it better suited to a casual meal than a lingering dinner. There is no wine list to speak of; the drinks menu is limited to soft drinks and a small beer selection. Bunsen does not take reservations, and its central branches can be busy during lunch and dinner rushes.
